I was one of those rare individuals who had not seen the play first on the stage and so I went into this without knowing the plot. It was a great time! I know that some of the cast wouldn't;t list singing as their strength but at least it wasn't dubbed and the ABBA songs really allowed the plot to flow. The performances were filled with joy and the audience was singing with the cast and dancing in the aisles! I'll go again and have it on my list to purchase when it comes out in DVD!
